Asymptotic vanishing conjecture for syzygies of large-degree embeddings

Let XX be a smooth projective variety of dimension nn, let AA be an ample line bundle, let PP be a line bundle, and set

Ld=dA+P.L_d=dA+P.

For a line bundle BB on XX, write Kp,q(X,B;Ld)K_{p,q}(X,B;L_d) for the Koszul cohomology group of weight qq and homological degree pp associated to the embedding defined by LdL_d.

Asymptotic vanishing conjecture. Fix q[2,n]q\in[2,n]. In the situation of the nonvanishing theorem referenced in the source, there is a constant C3C_3, depending on XX, AA, BB and PP, such that

Kp,q(X,B;Ld)=0K_{p,q}(X,B;L_d)=0

for pC3dq1p\leq C_3d^{q-1} when d0d\gg0.

The conjecture predicts that the lower bound in the corresponding asymptotic nonvanishing theorem is sharp: all smaller homological degrees eventually have vanishing syzygies. The source identifies this as the main open problem concerning the rough asymptotics of the groups Kp,qK_{p,q} for large dd.
